While I played an Atari beforehand, the first game system I personally owned was the NES. The first games I owned besides the SMB/Duckhunt combo pack were The Legend of Zelda, Megaman 2, and Final Fantasy. I must of gotten it sometime between 1986 and 1988, as I remember that those games were pretty new when I got them. Still remember pretty darn clearly the first time I ever beat Chaos in FF.

My first console was the SNES which I got on my 4th birthday. Even then I was addicted to videos games such as Star Fox, Super Mario Bros 3 and Mortal Kombat. Still own it too, should get it out some time soon
